The book of Deuteronomy is full of contrasts: blessings and curses, exile and regathering. In this book we learn about the heart of God and how He wants to win the devotion of our hearts.
A pattern throughout the Bible is:
- God does something.
- Man fails.
- God delivers.
Does Deuteronomy contain the words of Moshe (Moses) or the words of God?
What are commandments?
- They are directions and orders.
What are statutes?
- They are carved in stone.
- Apostle Peter called us living stones (1st Peter 2:4-6).
What are judgments?
- They are decisions to help us carry out the statutes.
Synopsis of key chapters and concepts
Deuteronomy 4 — stone
Deuteronomy 5 — heart of stone vs. heart of flesh [Editor: The audio recording begins here.]
Deuteronomy 6 — Sh’ma Yisrael! Hear and obey, Israel!
Deuteronomy 8 — purpose for trials and difficulties
Deuteronomy 10 — This is what God requires of man: teach the children about the LORD.
Deuteronomy 18
- The “middle chapter” of the book and containing a peak in meaning.
- In Deut. 18:15-20, what is the “Word of God”? What does the Word of God do?
Deuteronomy 29
- What was the purpose for the 40 years of Israel’s wandering between Egypt and Canaan? At what point did Israel fail, and what did that show?
- Why doesn’t God want us to love Him specifically with our bodies? Does that mean God doesn’t care what we do with our bodies?
Deuteronomy 33
- When will God be “riding on the clouds” (Deut. 33:26; Dan. 7:13; Luke 21:20-28)?
